Villareal against FC Barcelona – a top game in the Spanish league. A box office hit that would become an export hit. Because the league game was supposed to take place in the USA. After major protests from fans, players and players’ unions, the trip to the USA has now been canceled. In Italy, the league is sticking to a similar plan. Chaled Nahar explains in the current episode “Sport inside” why the leagues want to go abroad, how UEFA feels about it and what role FIFA plays in this.
